    Longer, better paced QOS is the only correct answer.

    Longer QOS. It definitely didn't help that it was so short.

    Longer, most importantly the parachute sequence; that needed a few more seconds… 😂

    I love QOS so I'll happily take 10-15 more minutes of it.

    Longer QOS. No doubt, no hesitation. Including the rumoured plan for the plane scene, with Mathis telling Bond the story of Rhoda and Masters from the QoS short story.

    Longer QOS, no question about it. I wouldn't shave a minute from NTTD, but I'd love to spend more time in the world of QOS.

    Longer QoS! Love it and would like to have seen more of it, not down on NTTD as some are, but would always prefer QoS , gets better with every viewing!

    Longer Quantum. I really enjoy the film, it just feels like it's missing some Bondian elements because of the shorter run time

    Yeah they definitely needed that one.

    I'll go against the grain and say a shorter NTTD. I love QoS (I love both), but QoS is the film that it is because of all of it's characteristics, including it's runtime. As the shortest film, it's quick, dynamic, compact, things that I appreciate about it. NTTD could use a few fewer minutes right at the end, IMO. But like I said, I love both.

    Amazing to see this play out. I thought for sure that we would see a more even battle or at least some equal thoughts. Seems like people think QOS can benefit from some additional moments while NTTD doesn't need to be trimmed to make it better.

    I can think of two henchmen that made strong impressions in their films. Jaws and Hinx.

    It got me to thinking...

    Would you rather Jaws is only in one film OR Hinx returns for another?

    Jaws was a terrifying character and one that audiences loved. So it was a no-brainer he would return. Some say his character in MR was not as well executed as in Spy. That he either should have perished in Spy, as one draft had happen, or simply not come back for MR. But some see his redemption arc as a highlight of MR.

    Hinx was one of the bright spots of a movie that left many feeling cold. Hinx was a call back updated for audiences. He fought Bond with a bruising ferocity and yet had style and lethal force combined. A call back to other films in the franchise. Many have suggested he never died from being thrown from the train and could have, should have come back.

    Obviously neither will happen, but what would you rather, Jaws in one movie only? Or Hinx returns to make Bond's life hell in another film?

    Jaws is too iconic, so I wouldnt remove him from Moonraker, silly as he is. Also he got an appearance in Everything or Nothing too.

    Hinx was a hugely underused and underdeveloped character. It wouldve spiced up the fourth act run around the old MI6 building if Hinx was chasing Bond down at the same time.

    Not so difficult one. I never liked Jaws much, too much of a caricature at times, especially in MR, yet even in MR he had a few scary moments. But Hinx was always underused I think (his name isn't even mentioned), and far more promising overall, less of a caricature. So yeah, Hinx.

    I don't want less Jaws, so I guess I'd go for another Hinx, although I'm not sure he would have worked in another film. But then I guess Bautista is very good, they could have expanded the character... I'm trying to imagine how he might have worked in NTTD. Maybe he replaces Ash as the one who kills Felix, and then Bond and him have a proper mano a mano grudgematch showdown in the Norwegian forest.
